Had a good morning at Wyco. Caught TWO keeper LMB. One 15 1/4 and a 16 inch that weighed 2.3 #.

Don't know why pics loaded sideways.

Don't know why I keep going to this lake, other than it is 10 minutes from driveway to ramp. Only managed 2 dinks this morning. Although they were my first fish on a spy bait!!

Is everyone now tired of the small fish in wyandotte lake. I stoped fishing it on wed night becouse of it. I have sent JACK WEBB, the guy that over see the lake the sample report from 06,07. I asked to see one done after that. He will not respond to me. If I find the email to the mayors office I will try him. I believe its time for the fishermen of the county to demand somthing done.

I've never fished Wyco, but based on what I've heard (and what I know about the area, even if some might not want to hear it) is it sounds like a fishery that's been irreparably damaged by the bucket fishermen, in more ways than one...

 

I hope I'm wrong, but if I'm the mayor... what potential return on investment am I looking at by taking measures to restore the fishery to what it once was?

Government cannot look for a return on investment for recreational facilities. They are just a service provided to the taxpayer. Wyco does, however, charge a healthy fee for fishing permits and boat permits and the taxpayer or user of this lake is not getting anything in return for the fees. If the Unified Government wants to encourage folks to come to the lake hey are gong to have to provide some decent fishing. I disagree that the bucket fishers are keeping the small bass, all I ever see anybody carry away are channel cat or trout.

And that in it self is the problem. All they ever do is stock with cat fish , and trout. The trout all die off by mid June. I don't believe the bank fishermen are all to blame. I believe on the large mouth, after 50 plus years the genetic pool is gone. They have never stocked a new strain of large mouth in the lake.

Hoping the fall bite will be just as good as the spring. Been trying for 3 years to get a 4 pounder from there this year I came close with a 3.7 (the one in my profile pic) it's just been nothing but dinks after that.

Well they'd sent all the permits in for the year already so since I wouldn't have to buy a permit Jared and I went to the Dotte for 2 hours Friday morning. Water was super clear and zebra mussels looked like they were doing very well. Wind was howling which made fishing slow difficult. Water temp was 43 degrees and I managed to catch 2 largemouth that were much fatter than last time I fished Wyco.

I hooked one fish on a jigging spoon by the excavator but it came off shortly after it hooked up.

A buddy of mine checked 87 people for permit and cull violations and did not cite one person I guess that's a good thing.

I think most the guys on here know Jon (basshunter0731)  :eyebrows:

 

Glad they got someone out there other than Ku who knows what to look for. They can't catch everything but a couple of my buddies that have worked out there couldn't ID a smallmouth from a largemouth if their lives depending on it.
